Trump Says He Does Not Want to Be TIME Magazine’s 2017 ‘Person Of The Year’

On Friday, President Donald Trump said he turned down the opportunity to be Time Magazine’s 2017 person of the year.

According to Breitbart, “although it is unlikely that TIME would name Trump the Person of the Year in back to back years, it appears they wanted to include him as a possible candidate.”

However, it’s suggested this candidacy was based on Trump agreeing “to a photo shoot and an interview.”

Trump Tweeted a statement regarding the supposed consideration, stating that it “probably is no good” and that he “took a pass,” at the opportunity.

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Fox News host Sean Hannity called “bullsh-t” on Time Magazine’s account, and called for the publication to clarify whether it called the White House to inform the president he was being considered for the award.
